Dr. Barthol was tendered a surprise
party last evening by a select number
of intimate friends, at his beautiful
home on Meadow street, in honor of
his natal day. His wife and family
had planned the event so carefully,
that the doctor had not the faintest
idea of the affair. On his return from
New Canaan, where he has an exten-

walk and Stamford, the friends were
all seated in a darkened room quietly
awaiting his coming, and when the
lights were turned on, he was com-
pletely surprised, but in his usual gen-
ial way, he warmly greeted them all
and made them welcome. His wife
